Imperative Mood

There are quite a few verbs in this song that appear in the imperative mood, the verb form used to give commands. All imperative verbs that appear in this song are conjugated in the second person singular (tú) form.

Just a few notes on the imperative:

• As the imperative mood is used to give commands, not all pronouns have an imperative form.
  • There is no first-person singular (yo) form.
  • The only third-person pronouns used in the imperative are ‘Usted’ and ‘Ustedes’ as these are direct forms of address.
  • The first person plural (nosotros) form is typically more of a suggestion than a command and is usually translated with ‘let’s’. For example “Vamos al parque” meaning “Let’s go to the park”.
• The personal pronouns are never used with the verbs in the imperative
• The second person singular (tú) and plural (vosostros) forms have different affirmative and negative conjugations.
• There is not one single stem and set of endings for all forms of the imperative.
  • The affirmative 2nd person singular (tú) uses the 3^rd person singular form of the present tense.
  • The affirmative 2^nd person plural (vosotros) takes the infinitive and replaces the -r with a -d.
  • All other forms use the corresponding form of the present subjunctive.

	Singular	Plural
1st Person	–	1st person plural of the present subjunctive
2nd Person Affirmative	3rd person singular of the present	Takes the infinitive and replaces the -r with a -d.

Imperatives with Attached Object Pronouns

When an object pronoun is used with a verb in the affirmative imperative it is attached to the end of the verb. When this happens an accent must often be added to the verb to maintain the correct stress.

• Verbs with more than one syllable require an accent when any pronouns are added. This accent will be placed on what was the next‐to‐the‐last syllable before any pronouns were attached.
• Single syllable verbs only require the addition of an accent if more than one pronoun is added. For example, ‘dime’ (tell me) does not require an accent. Let’s say, however, that we want to say tell it to me, which requires two pronouns. The accent is then required and it becomes ‘dímelo’.

Note that this only applies to affirmative imperative verbs. With negative verbs the pronouns will be placed between the ‘no’ and the verb.

Here are the verbs from this song that have attached pronouns:

Infinitive	Imperative	With Pronoun
convencer	convence	convénceme
llevar	lleva	llévame
derritir	derrite	derríteme
hacer	haz	hazme
confesar	confiesa	confiésame
soplar	sopla	sóplame
